(CU) MOLLY and MIKO
MOLLY: Come on! (gestures at screen) This isn't a bit like a REAL battle!!

MIKO: (sacastic) Well, maybe if we showed them Terran ships getting their butts kicked, their morale might increase...

MOLLY: But it's just so unrealistic! Look! (points at screen)

(MLS) the screen, as it shows a light fighter slam on its brakes and spin to fire
(CU) MOLLY and MIKO again

(MS) The desk. Behind it sits the IMMIGRATION OFFICER. He hands back their papers

IMMIGRATION OFFICER: Here you go. Enjoy your stay.

MOLLY: Thanks
She walks off.

MOLLY: This sucks it always takes so long.

MIKO: (getting a bit fed up) Stop whining...
Fade out. Fade back in. MOLLY is sitting on a luggage cart, pushing her self back and forth with her feet. MIKO is standing, arms folded, looking angrily back and forth.

MIKO: Hmph.
Fade out. Fade back in. MOLLY is lying on the cart, asleep. MIKO is sitting on the edge of the carousel, seething. Suddenly a grinding is heard, and bags begin cascading down the ramp, knocking MIKO forward.

MIKO: Hey!
She falls into MOLLY's legs, causing her to wake with a start. She bangs her head on the handle of the cart

MOLLY: What the !?! OW!!!!!

MIKO: Quick there's my bag! There's my bag!
MIKO grabs her bag off the carousel and drops in onto the cart.

MOLLY: I think that's mine!
(MS) A pile of luggage, with MOLLY's bag buried underneath. Only the top is visible.

MOLLY: I got it!
(MS) MOLLY plunges her hand down, and grasps the handle. She pulls up with tremendous force, and tears the handle off. Her arm flies up in the air.

MOLLY: Ack!
She reaches back down, and, with both hands, pulls her bag free of the pile, and drops it onto the cart. The floor of the cart breaks, and their bags fall to the floor.

MOLLY: (stunned) oops.

MIKO: (furious) GOOD ONE!
She picks up her bag and storms off.

MOLLY: Hey, wait up!
She reaches down, and, with great difficulty, separates her bag from the mangled cart and runs after MIKO.
(MLS) A bus depot. Electric buses stop here and carry passengers from the shuttle port to the heart of the space station's "city". MIKO and MOLLY can be seen hurrying towards a bus.
(MS) The bus pulls away, just as MIKO and MOLLY arrive.

MIKO: (angry) Oh great.
MOLLY just sighs sheepishly. Suddenly a car screechs in front of them. BOBBY leans out the window.

BOBBY: Hey guys! I rented a car! Want a lift?
(MIDSHOT) MIKO and MOLLY exchange glances.

MIKO: No!

MOLLY: Sure!
(MS) She runs to get in.

MIKO: D'oh!
She gets in too. The car lurches forward, and stalls. BOBBY starts it again, and it shudders off down the road towards the city.
========================================================================

MOLLY: (tears welling in her eyes) They've got all our money and clothes and stuff!

MIKO: (upset) Uh oh.

MOLLY: (bawling) We're STRANDED!

(CU) She holds it up for MOLLY to see.

MIKO: We've got these! We're fine!
(CU) MOLLY looking at her card. The tears dry up and she is elated.

MIKO: (exasperated again) Hoo boy.

(MS) MIKO and MOLLY standing in front of the machine. She is being scannd by the machine.

ATM: *Now scanning physical appearance. Height: 5'10", Eyes: Blue, Hair: Blue, Weight...*

MIKO: (interupts machine) I DON'T think you need to broadcast that!

ATM: *... 120, POSITIVE MATCH. State transaction please.*
MIKO punches some buttons. A wad of money flies into her hand. She picks up the record printout, and crumples it up. MOLLY steps up and inserts her card. The machine begins scanning her.
(MS) MIKO looking around the crowds, the ATM is behind her.

MIKO: Now, where the hell are BOBBY and THEO...
There is a buzzing sound. MIKO turns back to the machine.
(MS) MIKO and MOLLY standing at the machine.

MOLLY: (scared) Ack! I was rejected!

MIKO: (grins) Maybe you've put on too much weight!

MOLLY: No! It said my physical appearance was wrong!
MIKO is critically examining MOLLY's ATM card.

MIKO: I guess you don't look like a green-eyed redhead!
(CU) MOLLY's card, with her photo showing her bright emerald eyes and long red hair. MIKO lowers the card, revealing MOLLY's face, identical to the photo. Her usually happy eyes are filling with tears again.

MOLLY: Oh nooooooooo! I can't get any moneeeeeyyyyyyy!!!!!!

MIKO: Wait! Maybe there's a difference...
(MS) She holds up the card and glances back and forth between it and MOLLY's trembling frame. She snaps her fingers.

MIKO: Ha! Maybe it's those clothes you're wearing!

MOLLY: (sniffs) I have the ones in the picture with me.

MIKO: In BOBBY's car...

MOLLY: Oh noooo! AAACCKKK!!!!!

MIKO: Never mind! I'll just buy you some clothes myself!
She waves her money in MOLLY's face, grabs her hand, and drags her off.

THEO : (V/O) No.... (walks into view) why?
He notices the the bags.

THEO: Uh oh.
He opens one of the bags and rummages inside.

BOBBY: They must need this stuff!
THEO pulls out a huge wad of cash

THEO: (stunned) Whoa!
He waves the dosh in BOBBY's face.

THEO: Wouldn't you?
BOBBY slaps his hand. THEO drops the money back into the bag, and slams the trunk.

========================================================================

(MLS) A clothing store in the mall
(MS) MOLLY is try on a variety of clothes similar to the ones in her photo. MIKO is standing outside the change room, with at least 20 more of the outfits over her arm. She is trying to look happy.

MOLLY: (V/O)This one is too small!

MIKO: How can you tell?

(MS) MOLLY standing in the booth, unable to do up the last button. Deftly, she undoes her bra and slips it off. She tries the shirt again, and painfully manages the last button. Suddenly there is a stretching sound, and her breasts burst out, nearly tearing open the shirt. She pulls the outfit off and throws it over the camera, and out of the stall.

MIKO: (V/O) Try this one!

Another outfit flies into the shot. MOLLY catches it with her face.

MOLLY: Mmmph!

She holds the outfit up. She critically examines the outfit and feels her breast, trying to figure out whether she can wear he bra. She shakes her head, and puts on the white shirt. Her nipples stand out like cherries, but she manages all the buttons. She puts on the blue jacket.

MOLLY: Perfect!

(MS) She steps out of the changeroom, and adopts a "ta-da" pose. She grins from ear to ear. MIKO looks her up and down.

MIKO: Yes! Now let's go try the machine again!

MOLLY suddenly remembers her bra is still sitting on the changeroom bench.

MOLLY: Just a minute... forgot my...

MIKO: No time! Let's pay for this and get going!

She seizes MOLLY by the arm and drags out out of shot.

BOBBY: Oh man!

He and THEO get out of their car.

THEO: Hey man! What the f....

COL. BLAIR has gotten out of the offending vehicle. He snorts, turns and FINALLY notices them. He grunts something, tips his hat, and half-marches off into the mall.

========================================================================
(MLS) The ATM machine again. MIKO and MOLLY walk up to it.
(MS) The pair standing in front of the machine.

MIKO: Okay! Let's do it!

MOLLY quickly makes final adjustsments to her hair, clothes, breasts, eyelashes. She rubs her teeth with her finger. She takes a deep breath and inserts her card.

ATM: * Now scanning physical appearance...*

MOLLY quickly adopts the same artifical smile as her photo.

ATM: * NEGATIVE. No-match. Please take your card...*

MOLLY's face falls. The machine spits her card out and onto the floor, much to both her and MIKO's surprise.

========================================================================
(MLS) The changeroom booths in the clothing store
(MS) Inside the booth, a young teenage GIRL is about to try on a set of outfits. She has just slipped off her shirt when she notices MOLLY's bra sitting on the bench. She picks it up and examines it. She sneaks a peek over the top of the door and then starts to put it on.
(CU) Her breasts as she slips the far-too large bra on.

MOLLY: I'm telling you, it's because I wasn't wearing my...

(MS) MIKO and MOLLY standing at the reception. MOLLY looks uncomfortable. MIKO is signing some papers.

MOLLY: (nervous) I'm not too sure about this...

MIKO: I'm telling you, it's because you had more of a tan when the picture was taken.
She hands the papers over to the attendant.

ATTENDANT: Right-o, third door on the left. It's all automatic

MIKO: AHA!
MOLLY looks down at herself, and suddenly desparately tries to cover herself up.

MOLLY: (embarassed) Hey!

MIKO: You forgot you-know-what!

MOLLY: Ow!!

MIKO: Never mind that, get yer clothes on we gotta go!

MOLLY: Oh! Erm... withdraw....

ATM: *We apologize for the inconvenience. This machine has run out of money. Please try again later. Thank you for your patronage!*

(MS) MOLLY's response: her gob has never been so smacked. MIKO looks equally stunned. MOLLY's expression begins to turn into that of blind fury.
